Zero-Waste Meal Kits

Meal kits that provide perfectly chopped and portioned ingredients are helpful for saving time in the kitchen but they also tend to create a lot of plastic waste—Canadian meal kit delivery service Fresh Prep is introducing an alternative solution with its zero-waste meal kit. Husein Rahemtulla, co-founder and COO at Fresh Prep, says: "As interest in meal kits continues to surge, we wanted to be leaders in innovating to minimize packaging waste."

The Zero Waste Kit introduces a first-of-its-kind reusable meal kit container that's made with BPA-free plastic and silicone parts, so it is dishwasher-safe in its entirety. While Fresh Prep has explored the use of mason jars and other kinds of sustainable packaging solutions, it found that the most scalable option was to develop reusable components.
